Mindfulness-Based Symptom Management: Mindfulness as Applied Ethics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Practitioner's Guide to Ethics and Mindfulness-Based Interventions

Part of the book series: Mindfulness in Behavioral Health ((MIBH))

Abstract

Mindfulness-based symptom management (MBSM) was developed as a program integrating Buddhist concepts of cultivating virtues and Western psychological approaches to treating mental health issues. The core of the program is rooted in Buddhist principles and practices for developing awareness using a modification of the four ways to develop mindfulness. The Five Skillful Habits create an arc of values-clarification that is grounded in the life of the participants; they also offer an opportunity to discern what results in flourishing and is congruent with personal values. This chapter will provide an exploration of the Buddhist and psychological roots of MBSM, a rationale for embedding ethics in mindfulness through the Five Skillful Habits, and an exploration of the ethics of mindfulness when offering the program in cases that require ethical oversight.
